friday
now playing: nik everett, "excellent night"
which reminds me, i had the weirdest dream a few nights ago...i was in the cafeteria of the kids' middle school and niks' band was playing that song, but i wasn't in the band - i was sitting at a table in the cafeteria with a guy from work, troy dunlap - and we were complaining about the sound, because the band was playing through the crappy PA speakers that they have hanging from the walls in there (the root of which could probably come from my complaining about how awful they sounded last year when jayda sang norah jone's "i don't know why" with the band, and then they had a musical review in there at one point as well, where jayda sang the flashdance theme...but i digress).
anyway, troy got up to go adjust the PA and the whole thing died when he reached over to fix it...and nik got pissed at both of us. now, why the band was playing and i wasn't playing with them, i can't recall. but then since when do dreams have to make sense?
anyway....
considering that it seems to be accepted at this point that these documents were forged or altered in some way, this can't be good news for our incumbent...
...especially when you consider that a healthy number of people who voted "no" probably did so in the spirit of recognizing the documents as fake, for the purpose of the poll.
digby has an excellent variation on the CEO analogy regarding bush, as well.
so i thought today i'd try to do a little digging to see if there were any fresh rumors or (who knows? maybe) actual news on the web regarding the status of dan fogelberg, and - as i'm sure you would surmise - rumors abound. i was taken, though, by how many other artists have posted get-well wishes on their own sites...stephen bishop, cowboy junkies, pat metheny, bodeans, garth brooks, david crosby - even lenny kravitz's bulletin board has a mention of it. i also found one of the only newspaper articles that wasn't a rehash of the wire story.
but not a word of news by way of an update on his condition.
the end of the day approaches...it's been one of those days where i've literally typed a handful of words at a time, and rather than try to continue a patched-together collection of thoughts, i think i'll allow myself to live to fight another day.
master and commander, signing off...
